Install both the tappets for the inlet valves at cylinder 1.

Check the notes made earlier. Select new tappets if necessary.

NOTE:

Only install two tappets. The tappets should be placed by the same cylinder

Other tappets are available as replacement part / replacement part kits.

The valve clearance on a cold engine (approximately 20 °C) should be:

Inlet valve:0.20 0.03 mm.
Exhaust valve:0.40 0.03 mm.
NOTE:

The tolerances are less when setting When checking the valve clearance through the plug hole, the tolerances are larger.

Position the intake camshaft. Ensure that the lobes at cylinder 1 point upwards.

Apply a little oil to the cam lobe and the upper side of the tappet to facilitate later measurement.
